I received a zt-180 today.I was pretty psyched until the screen wouldn't turn on. I could hear sound so I knew it was booting up.I gave it a good smack and the screen illuminated. I had to do something similar with my m003.After wince loads I can see 1 point on the screen is constantly pressed because it allows me to do the click and drag highlight box thing (sorry I have no idea what that's called) from that one single point.If I flex the unit on the bottom right it works for a few seconds another reverts to the stuck spot issue.The little I know about touch screens is that there are 4 wires on these resistive screens. One of them might be loose or something.Has anyone else had this issue (even on Android)?I have a lot of modding experience on xbox, Wii and ps2, so I'm not afraid to open up and solder. The issue is that I have no idea what I'm looking at/for.Thanks.

Jtb,Thanks a lot! I will be trying this tomorrow night.Does it go back together well or will I be able to tell its been opened?Obviously, if I can't repair it I want to send it back and I don't want it looking like I broke it somehow.This is also assuming I'm careful.Thanks again.Steve

Jtb,I checked it out tonight, and it turns out I have a bad ribbon cable connecting the touch screen to the main board. I'm sending it back.Thanks again for your help.Steve
